## Product Overview

- **Name**: MCPlato
- **Category**: AI-Native Desktop Application
- **Platform**: macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows (64-bit)
- **Core Concept**: Directory as Conversation — each folder becomes an intelligent workspace with persistent AI context
- **Tagline**: "Think Together, Think Beyond"
- **Design**: Local-first by design. With your permission, AI works with your files, your tools, your way.

## Four Core Capabilities

### 1. [Scheduled Tasks](https://mcplato.com/en/#features) — AI That Works While You Sleep
Schedule AI tasks with cron expressions. Daily reports, weekly summaries, hourly monitoring — all automated. Your AI never sleeps.

### 2. [Multi-Task Factory](https://mcplato.com/en/#features) — MultiBot: Your Parallel AI Workforce
Run multiple AI sessions simultaneously. Each workspace, each tab — an independent AI context. Parallel processing power for your projects.

### 3. [Smart Notifications](https://mcplato.com/en/#features) — Never Miss a Beat
Desktop notifications when AI finishes tasks. Ask questions, get answers — even when you're away. Stay informed, stay free.

### 4. [Ask & Collaborate](https://mcplato.com/en/#features) — AI That Asks Before Acting
Multi-turn dialogue, real-time confirmations, structured questions. Your AI coworker communicates like a teammate. Human-AI partnership at its best.

## Why MCPlato — Six Differentiators

### Self-Improving Agent
AI finds problems, fixes them, tests, and repeats. No hand-holding needed.

### AI That Sees Everything
Text, images, documents, files — show it a screenshot, hand it a PDF, point it to a spreadsheet. MCPlato understands every type of content.

### Works Right on Your Computer
AI works directly with the files on your computer. It uses your local tools and knowledge base — nothing needs to be uploaded anywhere.

### Automated Routines
Set it and forget it — schedule recurring tasks like daily reports, weekly cleanups, and automated backups. Your AI works on autopilot.

### Skill System
Build and import Skills to extend what your AI can do. Use Distill to teach it step by step — like training an intern who never forgets.

### Chat From Anywhere
Slack, Discord, Telegram, WeChat, Feishu, QQ, Wecom — chat with your AI assistant from whatever messaging app you already use. See [Channel Setup Guide](https://mcplato.com/en/onboarding/channel/).
